Nice to see positive comments:
I hope your numbers work out, but I've learned that projected numbers good or bad,(unless from someone close to the source) are usually pretty far off.
I invest in companies with products that I and my friends/co-workers use and like. In a real world I know that I have no inside insite to stock prices up or down. It's hard enough trying to find stocks that I "think" might go up; I don't waste my time looking for stocks that I "think" might go down. Probably way I don't buy puts/calls, don't short. 100-500 shares at time is about all I ever go into one company
Survey number updated 11/13/96
After an informal survey of my customers this week the following tells me that renewed interest is there.
86 customers questioned have AOL, (67 including me also have an ISP account)
48 including myself included are now going strickly with AOL.
Not a very scientific survey, I'll admit, but real world data.
After using AOL 3.0 for the last 3 nights, I bought another 200 shares today. Much improved interface and Web access. A few bugs, but overall a big improvement. Call me crazy, but IMHO, simple fact is that AOL is the biggest and best online to date. Doesn't mean it will stay that way, but for now it is.
I've tried 4 ISP's, 2 local and 2 national. Wouldn't touch any of them again.
I do wonder, if AOL is in for such a bad time, what is the expected fate of Netcom, or other ISP's. Maybe it's time I think about trying to short a stock.
Have to work till Jan, then on to Mexico. |
